Yet, we also acknowledge the complex, beautiful and often, troubling ways in which cultures are encountered and formed.Please join us for an evening of community building, nuanced conversations on cultural exchange while we enjoy a homemade meal prepared for us by recent Afghan immigrants that have made Cincinnati home.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Afghanistan: A Nexus Point Afghanistan is the product of many overlapping cultures encountering each other for thousands of years. Considered the cultural crossroad in the heart of the Asian continent, Afghanistan sits between India and China to the East, and Iran and the Mediterranean to the West, a cultural mix that is reflected in their amazing cuisine. This landlocked country has been the nexus point for migrating nomadic tribes, the site of strategic expansion of empires, as well as trade and pilgrimage routes for over 4,000 years. Afghanistan is a multi- ethnic society, comprising of a diverse ethnic, linguistic, and tribal identities.Geopolitical conflicts of the 20th and 21st century has birthed a generation of Afghans who have seldom experienced peace. Yet, thousands of years of history informs us that is not the full story. Afghanistan is a country with a rich tapestry of artists, intellectuals and a culture known for their exquisite food and hospitality.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Further Information:**sliding scale tickets available.
